I am gad that Asoka Weerasinhe has started writing again (I fully agree with the views expressed by him) and thankful to all the writers including HLD Mahindapala, \u00a0Prof. Hudson McLean<\/a>, Dilrook Kannangara, Shenali D Waduge, Ranjith Soyza and others. I am thankful to Lankaweb for facilitating the forum.\u00a0 Many writers have pointed out that Sinhala people\u00a0 are facing serious threats.` It is worthwhile visiting Rangith\u2019s\u00a0\u00a0 article\u00a0 \u00a0ref.\u00a0 https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/2012\/11\/03\/protect-unitary-status-defuse-racism-repeal-the-13th-amendment-to-sri-lanka-constitution\/<\/a><\/p>\n

After terrorism was defeated by MR, MY3 gang has reduced the HSZ, released terrorists, indicated\u00a0 its intention\u00a0 to \u00a0remove 16 groups and hundreds of Tamils from a list of foreign terrorists, appointed Tamils who have committed alleged fraud to key positions, allowed the national anthem, a vital symbol in a unitary state to be sung in the language of people who terrorised the country for 30 years and on previous occasions destroyed our irrigation system. Prabhakran is my Leader, but Modi is my Political Model\u201d, says a Sri Lankan\u00a0 TNA Tamil MP<\/a> (ref. New Indian exoress) . This MPs statement and Vigneswaran\u2019s submission to the UNHRC, all point to the idea that Tamils are not interested in reconciliation,\u00a0 but preparing for another war. It appears that people who wanted a \u2018venase\u2019 have voted in\u00a0 a LTTE government, who are leading us to a precipice.<\/strong> \u00a0\u00a0Have we not learnt anything from the 30 years of LTTE rule in the North and do we want a repeat performance ?\u00a0 So the Tamil terrorist threat is real and\u00a0 serious, and when they suspect we are weak sufficiently, they will start another war. How many times have we been taught this lesson ?. Appeasing them will make us weaker and make\u00a0 racists stronger. We are now in the same state as we were before the racist war, appeasing racists, without making our defence stronger,\u00a0 and without learning any lessons and completely ignoring the sacrifices made by the Sinhalese.\u00a0 Some writers have also pointed out the dangers to Lanka by the proposed 19A.<\/p>\n

Economic mismanagement by the present Government is indicated by the decrease in foreign reserves, poor performance of the stock market and the decrease in value of the rupee.<\/strong> It is also likely that there\u00a0 would be high inflation, as money is allowed to go into the system, in the form of increased wages, without any increase in productivity.\u00a0 It is shocking that this damage is done within\u00a0\u00a0 a short period of three months.<\/p>\n

My view is that the treacherous acts of this LTTE government has to be passed on to voters at village level. If nothing os done, Sinhala Buddhists are doomed in Sri Lanka, by the voters committing an act similar to turkeys voting for Christmas\u201d.<\/p>\n

Correct mental state is needed for survival, rather than rely on\u00a0 myths or majic. No\u00a0 myth or triple gem\u00a0 saved the Nalanda Buddhists ! nor those in the silk route. Unfortunately many want to turn a blind eye to these facts, without learning lessons!.<\/p>\n

Many suspect that the acts of MY3 gang is more treacherous than the group that sold the country in 1815.\u00a0 MY3 gang is\u00a0 \u00a0allowing themselves to be deceived by racists. Many suspect\u00a0 that \u00a0MY3 gang came to power through deception and lies,\u00a0 the scene\u00a0 manipulated by foreign NGOs, agents and governments.\u00a0 MY3 gang has even managed to antagonise the people who helped us, the Chinese. All the indicators are that the West has a plan to destroy Lanka and want to destabilise Lanka as they did in Iraq, Libya and Syria.<\/p>\n

MY3\u00a0 and gang is doing the ground work for racist Tamils\u00a0 for the next Eelam war. The outcome of that war may even bring about the end of the Sinhalese in Lanka. What has the so called JHU and JVP\u00a0 done to protect the nation. Some say the MY3 gang is a puppet govt. of the imperialists and Indians whilst others refer o it as \u00a0the \u00a0LTTE\u00a0 government. They certainly have achieved a lot for terrorist sympathisers and even given our national anthem away.\u00a0\u00a0 It is time to have an organisation called the Sinhala National alliance to protect the interests of the Sinhalese and counter act the threats of racist TNA and this has to be done urgently,\u00a0 before the final nail is hammered on Sinhala Buddhists.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have to remember that funds for terrorism was\u00a0 raised in Western countries \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and initial training\u00a0 of LTTE was done in India.\u00a0 When we should try to become stronger,\u00a0 MY3 gang is making the\u00a0 Sinhalese weaker. Has MY3 got plans to lead the TNA ?\u00a0 Most Tamil politicians have conducted themselves in a racist manner and promoted Tamil racism. Unless Sinhala people recognise the threats from racist Tamils, the future would be bleak and future generations of Sinhala people will not have a country to live in \u00a0Already if people look at a map or visIt various parts of Sri Lanka, they will find that\u00a0 the Sinhalese have lost a good portion of the \u00a0only homeland. I have to mention that our hill country Tamil brothers and sisters are hard working group of people and have to be appreciated \u00a0\u00a0and treated as a\u00a0 valuable \u00a0part of the community.\u00a0\u00a0 Tamil brothers and sisters are hard working and In my view, all citizens need to work for the common good of the country and need to\u00a0 conduct themselves in a non racist manner.<\/p>\n

We need to analyse why we are lagging behind other communities when it comes to wealth generation.\u00a0 My view is that religions and cultural constrains \u00a0and blind faith in myths are preventing us from reaching our potential.\u00a0 More of it later on.<\/p>\n

In simple terms, there is a need to develop critical thinking skills, problem solving skills, information seeking skills, trading skills, communication skills and \u00a0business skills etc to name a few of the skills that we need to develop if the Sinhalese want to safeguard their only homeland. A single flag and a single National anthem would be symbolic in indicating a unitary state. Any deviation from this would eventually lead to fragmentation. Fragmentation would either lead to eternal war or the elimination of Sinhalese in Sr Lanka.\u00a0 Because of our proximity to Tamil Nadu and after destruction of\u00a0 our hydraulic systems by ancient \u00a0\u00a0Tamils there is a need to look seriously on security.\u00a0 This need is enhanced by \u00a0the destruction done to us \u00a0during the \u00a0recent 30 year \u00a0racist war.\u00a0 We should have learnt lessons. Unfortunately we have not learnt\u00a0 any lesson, even after the loss of 40000 soldiers, deaths of many women and children (Remember Dollar and Kent farm). My fear is that nature will wipe out those that are not fit enough to survive.\u00a0 Politicians are on a competition to appease \u00a0Tamils and win Tamil votes. MR generated a unitary state and his defeat was celebrated in Tamil Nadu, surely this is telling us something!. It is vital that we stop the MY3 gang fragmenting the country. How can the Sinhalese stop the country from \u00a0being fragmented\u00a0 by the MY3 LTTE \u00a0gang ?\u00a0 May I ask again, . Has the MY3 gang being more\u00a0 treacherous\u00a0\u00a0 than the gang who handed over the country\u00a0 1815 ?<\/p>\n

Thousands of poor people in NCP are dying from kidney disease. They appear to get \u00a0no seeni bola from any one. The sad and trajic thing is, whilst the Tamils get seeni bola from everyone, including seeni bola from Sinhala politicians after the Tamil votes, the voiceless poorest of the Sinhala people even have less of the pie. In comparison Tamils appear to get seeni bola from Indians, \u00a0NGOS, from bogus refugees abroad and from the MY3 gang as well. Indians favouring Tamils is racial discrimination against the Sinhalese and part of a divide and rule policy of India and should be stopped.<\/p>\n

Recent ADB report states that Sri Lanka is lagging in innovation and application of technology\u00a0 in comparison to neighbouring countries. In my view, wealth generation skills, innovation, application of technology\u00a0 and activities generating wealth is far more important than Nivana seeking skills, to survive in the modern world.\u00a0 How can a nation brainwashed on giving up desires and suggested to seek extinction (Nirvana) make progress on innovation ?\u00a0 India, which produced these Indian myths and snake oil, \u00a0have dumped ancient myths and are making good progress on innovation. In deed if we do not innovate and\u00a0 learn a move on and if we stick to ancient Indian myths, we would be made extinct, as the law of nature is survival of the fittest. I am a Sinhala Buddhist following precepts but do not believe in suicidal Indian myths. Our heritage and Buddhist culture has to be safeguarded, for cultural and historical reasons.<\/p>\n

Who controls Sri Lanka\u2019s banking and finance system ? Who runs most business organisations in Sri Lanka ? \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

MY3 gang came to power saying that they will eliminate corruption and slim down the number of ministries. MY3 bribed the Tamil voters and gave them seeni bola by releasing number of LTTE terrorists, by allowing the national anthem to be sung in Tamil and shrinking the Sri Lankan\u00a0 military presence\u00a0 in the North, removing terrorist \u00a0Tamil groups from terrorist lists.\u00a0 These \u00a0things appear to be attempts to bribe the Tamils to get their votes.\u00a0\u00a0 Such\u00a0 actions by MY3,appeasing \u00a0Tamils \u00a0would be disastrous to Sri Lanka and the Sinhalese in general. Many feel that\u00a0 such treacherous actions are\u00a0 harmful to the Sinhalese, weaken them and sow seeds for the next terrorist war. Many wonder if\u00a0\u00a0 MY3 received seeni bola\u00a0 from terrorist sympathisers or from \u00a0the West . The very people who came to power saying they will eliminate bribery and corruption \u00a0are the same people offering sweeteners to the Tamils. It is the Tamil racist terorrists that drained the blood of the nation and resulted in the ldeaths \u00a0of over 40000 Sinhalese. Before MR liberated Lanka, politicians were appeasing the Tamils just as MY3 is doing now. Such actions, rather than producing harmony created chaos. In countries such as China and Japan that had multiple rulers, war between factions were common and countries were in disarray.\u00a0 Similar situation\u00a0\u00a0 would happen in Lanka, if there is devolved power. For national harmony and peace, it is essential that the nation is united under one flag and one national anthem, as it gives a clear message on unity of Sri Lanka. It has to be remembered that it is a UNP government that yielded to Indian power that produced the 13A, that will disintegrate the country. The Sinhalese, if they continue to ignore the situation, will lose Sri Lanka altogether and will not have a country to live and be second class citizens in their own country. Other\u00a0 ethnic gropus\u00a0 such as native Americans, who did not change or respond to the threats facing them have got wiped out..<\/strong> If the Sinhalese continue to give up desires and aim for extinction (Nirvana), they would be there, extinct\u00a0 before they even realised it.<\/p>\n

MY3\u2019s general performance so far and his \u00a0comments about \u00a0the queen shaking hands without gloves, \u00a0indicate that MY3 is a \u00a0na\u00efve, ill informed, gullible person, not fit to govern a country, in a world full of extremely smart and cunning leaders.\u00a0 It is sad to see that \u00a0MY3\u00a0 and some traitors have joined the party\u00a0 that many see as associated with the privileged\u00a0 and Tiger sympathisers.<\/p>\n

The extravagant spending by Mangala and\u00a0 alleged boy friend\u00a0 is revolting, as many in NCP are dying of Kidney disease.<\/p>\n

It is reported by the ADB that Sri Lanka is lagging behind neighbouring countries in innovation and application of technology. I have repeatedly said that If the Sinhalese are to survive, then they will have to innovate and be good at applying technology and abandon giving up desires and abandon aiming for extinction (Nirvana). If the Sinhalese are not competitive, they will achieve Nirvana, automatically, as happened to many native American nations.<\/p>\n

.The threat is not only from Tamils, but \u00a0from globalisation, with various countries and groups seeking Sri Lankas resources\u00a0 such as \u00a0the coast line and its strategic location. In my view, it is time to recognise internal and external threats and develop appropriate skills to survive in a global\u00a0 interconnected \u00a0market driven economy where money\u00a0 and trading \u00a0appears to play a dominant role.\u00a0 Whilst respecting our religious and cultural heritage, it is prudent to questions the validity of the underlying concepts. In a dangerous competitive world, \u00a0only the fittest will survive. My concern is that Buddhists are too passive and not aggressive enough to defend themselves in a dangerous world, highly competitive world \u00a0\u00a0full of greedy people, where only the fittest will survive and the weak eliminated.\u00a0 In my view, giving up desires and run away from the problem, seeking Nirvana is not the solution.\u00a0 We have also to remember that the \u00a0country rhat produced these myths have rejected the myths after the Nalanda debacle. India is now thriving in an economy driven by desires and want.\u00a0 Also remember that Buddhists in the Silk route have been wiped out. Tibet and Bhutan that have Buddhism similar to our Buddhism remains\u00a0 as very primitive and underdeveloped countries. Following ancient myths to give up desires and seek extinction (Nirvana) appears to be a route to disaster, as found out by Nalanda Buddhists and Buddhist in the Sulk route I am a Sinhala Buddhist and I follow the Buddhist precepts, perhaps as Buddha intended but without myths that is not compatible with the modern world. Being passive and doing the minimum may be easy, but will not help one to survive in a highly competitive world. It has to be asked, why are the Sinhala Buddhists at the bottom of the pile with reference to wealth and wealth generation.\u00a0 When\u00a0 a group\u00a0 is at the bottom of the pile, this group is disadvantaged in terms of education, access to information, health, housing and so on. My view is that\u00a0 non Buddhists have desires and are motivated to generate wealth. \u00a0in comparison Sinhala Buddhists are informed of the virtues of giving up desires and seeking Nirvana (extinction). I would think twice\u00a0 before accepting ancient Indian myths that Indians have dumped.<\/p>\n

How many have bothered to find out what happened to the natives in North and South America. \u00a0In some countries the natives are second class citizens in their own country. If we want to avoid the same fate,\u00a0 we have to learn lessons. Nalanda Buddhists and Buddhistts in the Silk route\u00a0 experienced\u00a0 the end results, when countries were \u00a0run under Buddhist principles. The\u00a0 sad truth is that many in the world do not follow\u00a0 Buddhist principles and we would \u00a0become easy victims to nasty people. It is however, good\u00a0 to have good governance and values , but please leave religion out.<\/p>\n

Religion could be used as a drug \u00a0by nasty people and\u00a0 religion could be used to \u00a0stop us from evolving. There is irrefutable evidence that nations that do not adapt to the modern world and those that ignore internal and external threats and\u00a0 are\u00a0 not prepared to defend themselves\u00a0 would be wipe out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
